This morning, as Old Liu was loosening the soil and weeding in the field, Village Chief Li Guoqiang rode a black Zhanma motorcycle and stopped on the path along the edge of the field.
"Village chief, what brings you here?" Old Liu asked in surprise.
Village chief Li Guoqiang said excitedly, "Old Liu, all of your two thousand catties of walnuts were sold out last night. I came here specifically to tell you this good news!"
Old Liu was stunned upon hearing this. He put down his hoe and said in disbelief, "Village chief, are you kidding me? In just one day, all two thousand catties of walnuts have been sold out???"
“Who’s kidding you? It’s really sold out! People who sell things online face tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of customers. Your mere two thousand catties of walnuts sold out so easily!” Village chief Li Guoqiang was quite knowledgeable, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but remind him, "The staff from Taobao's service center are ready to come to your house to pack the walnuts and then ship them out. By the way, you should go back home as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Old Liu was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Okay, village chief, I'll go back right away!"
Immediately afterwards, he picked up a hoe and hurried home.
...
The village is small, so any news can spread quickly throughout the village.
Upon hearing the news, the villagers flocked to Old Man Liu's house.
Old Liu had a smile on his face the whole time, almost never stopping.
Taobao's service outlets helped him sell all 2,000 jin (1,000 catties) of walnuts, and the price was quite good, two to three times more than in previous years.
The middlemen are making way too much profit from the price difference.
This year, the market seems to be bad. The middlemen haven't come to buy the walnuts, which has made Old Liu as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He used to be frowning and worried about not being able to sell his walnuts, but now he is overjoyed.
While repeatedly thanking the staff at the Rural Taobao service point, he quickly weighed the walnuts and packed them into boxes.
"Young ladies, you're amazing! You sold out 2,000 jin of walnuts so quickly, and at such a good price! Thank you so much!!!"
"Uncle Liu, you're too kind. We've come to the countryside to help farmers, help everyone escape poverty and become prosperous, and revitalize the rural economy! Through the internet, we can push your agricultural products to hundreds of millions of users!"
Grandpa Liu, don't think that just because you have 2,000 jin of walnuts, you can't sell them. Even if you had 20 million jin of walnuts, we would still find a way to sell them!
"Look how good the walnuts are here! They taste great too. People in big cities rarely get to buy such good walnuts..." Zhao Xiaoqian smiled and praised Grandpa Liu.
Most farmers in Sanhe Township grow walnut trees, and they have a lot of walnuts that they can't sell.
As soon as Zhao Xiaoqian finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but flatter and request her.
"Young lady, I have a lot of walnuts at home, can you help me sell them?"
"I have one at home too!"
"..."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, looking at Zhao Xiaoqian and the others with hopeful eyes.
Zhao Xiaoqian smiled at everyone and nodded, saying, "Sure, no problem at all! Once our staff has tallied and verified the number of walnuts in each of your homes, we can help you sell them!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers expressed their gratitude and invited Zhao Xiaoqian and her group to dinner.
Actually, they didn't believe at first that they could sell walnuts online, but with Old Liu's example, they suddenly became more interested and decided to try selling walnuts online.
A week later, the people of Sanhe Township began to cooperate with Taobao, selling not only walnuts but also other agricultural products.
Across the country, Alibaba, Taobao, and Amazon have all achieved remarkable results.
However, as the scale of agricultural product sales has grown, it has become increasingly difficult to sell all of them.
...
Wujiang Building.
Zhao Ye quickly received information about the development of Alibaba, Taobao, and Amazon in the field of agricultural e-commerce and learned about their difficulties.
"Chairman Zhao, the three major e-commerce platforms are making great progress in supporting farmers. They have not only opened up online channels but also offline channels, including fresh food supermarkets, farmers' markets, fruit supermarkets, etc. However, in the short term, if we want to increase the sales of agricultural products dramatically, we can probably only start with online platforms..."
As Liu Yinyin spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thought.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded and smiled. In fact, he had already come up with a plan for developing agricultural e-commerce.
"Secretary Liu, please inform the CEOs of Alibaba, Taobao, and Amazon to come to my office for a meeting at 3 p.m. I have something important to tell them to do."
"Okay, Chairman Zhao."
Liu Yinyin responded and then went to contact the CEOs of the three major e-commerce companies.
It was already 3 p.m. when the CEOs of the three major e-commerce companies arrived at Zhao Ye's office.
Zhao Ye got straight to the point: "Right now, the e-commerce industry has developed to a certain stage, and we must find ways to stimulate consumers' impulse to shop!"
Zhao Ye paused for a second or two to let everyone think.
What methods can be used to stimulate consumers?
Zhao Ye slowly said, "I think we can launch a 'group buying' model! What is 'group buying'? As the name suggests, group buying is when a group of people buy the same product together! You know, the more people who buy, the higher the profit. So, under the group buying model, we have room to offer discounts, and users can buy goods for less money. In this way, consumers will have a great shopping impulse!"
